Which medical cannabis clinic is cheapest in the UK? What a first year of clinic fees adds up to, clinic by clinic
In short: Of the 26 clinics on the regulator-anchored list, 19 publish enough to add up a first year of clinic fees under one formula (an initial consultation plus 3 follow-ups, or the clinic's own year-one schedule). The figures run from £0 to £900, median £186; 6 clinics come in under £100 and 3 at £500 or more. The medicine is never in these figures — pharmacies price it, not clinics. “Cheapest” depends on the plan you would actually use, so the arithmetic is shown for every row.

How the figure is built — and what it leaves out
One care pattern for everyone: an initial consultation, a first follow-up at about three months, then a review every three months — four consultations in the first year. Where a clinic publishes its own year-one schedule (Mamedica, Cantourage), that schedule is summed instead. Where a clinic offers several published configurations, the cheapest for this pattern is shown and named — a reader on a different plan pays a different figure, and the clinic's card lists them all.
Counted: consultation, onboarding, membership and plan fees. Not counted: the medicine (the dispensing pharmacy prices it — see what is dispensed and at what published price); per-prescription administration and delivery fees, because their number depends on the individual prescription (they are named in the table instead); conditional charges such as no-show fees; promotional prices — a “was £99.99, now £29.99” is counted at £99.99, because an offer is not a price list; and eligibility-restricted rates (veterans, transfers, access schemes). A “from £X” anywhere in the inputs makes the whole figure a minimum.
What the figure is not: a judgement of quality. The CQC or HIW column shows the regulator's published rating where one exists and “registered, not yet rated” where a location is on the register but has not been inspected — a rating is often several years old and says nothing about the cannabis service as such (what CQC registration does and does not prove). Two clinics on this list carry a “Requires improvement” rating from 2026; it is shown because it is the regulator's word, not ours.
Why “cheapest” is a plan, not a clinic
The same clinic can be the cheapest and among the dearest depending on the plan: pay-as-you-go at £29 an appointment costs more over a year than a £5-a-month membership if you need four appointments, and less if you need two. Subscriptions that bundle “free follow-ups” cost what the subscription costs whether you use them or not. Clinics that charge nothing for consultations exist, and the rules of this list apply to them as to everyone else: they are registered with the regulator and the figure is what they publish — how they are paid is a question for the clinic, and the questions to ask before the first appointment include it.
